ASM Skimmers?

Anyone have any experience with ASM skimmers? A local reefer is offering me his modded G4X for $150. Skimmer, mesh-modded Sedra 9000, modded for recirc and overflow feed. I'm really unhappy with my current skimmer, and I'm hoping this one will fit in my cabinet. Anyone have any oppinions/advice/insight?

grab it ...Thats a steal

I have G-4s running on a few of my customers tanks.

They are not the highest quality built out there, but performance is very good.
All and all a great value (especially for $150)

plumb it outside the stand or take it and resell it.

not sure your tank size but for about the same money and design the octopus skimmers are also a good choice

It's a 120 with 26" of space underneath, although 24" is about the max I can fit.

I agree!!!!!! I have one and I love it!!! Even if you can't use it on this system, I would buy it for a system in the future. A great overall skimmer!!!!
